Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in datadog or webhook received in heroku. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send webhook in heroku. Map the data fields between Datadog and Heroku so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate

Is my Datadog data secure when connected to Heroku?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Datadog or Heroku passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Datadog and Heroku?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Datadog or Heroku. For example, create a workflow where Datadog events update Heroku, and a separate one where Heroku changes sync back to Datadog. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Datadog and Heroku?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Datadog and Heroku, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
